It's almost impossible to judge veil colour accurately from a designer dress photo — lighting, editing and screen settings all change how it appears. Designer colour names aren't reliable either: what one brand calls ivory, another calls white or off-white.
We offer two shades:
Off-white — our palest shade. A soft, clean bridal white with very little warmth or creaminess.
Ivory — warmer and creamier. Best suited to gowns with a soft or traditional ivory tone.
This style is offered in three shades:
Off-white — our palest shade. A soft, clean bridal white with very little warmth or creaminess.
Ivory — warmer and creamier. Best suited to gowns with a soft or traditional ivory tone.
Champagne — warmer still, with a soft golden tone. Pairs well with champagne, blush or warm-ivory gowns.
This style is offered in ivory only — a warm, creamy shade best suited to gowns with a soft or traditional ivory tone.
Off-white is shown alongside in the image for reference, so you can see how ivory compares.

If you are still not sure you can order samples; compare them in natural light against your dress.
A timeless French lace mantilla wedding veil handcrafted in fine Italian tulle and edged with exquisite French lace. Inspired by traditional Spanish bridal style, this lace-edged mantilla veil blends heritage craftsmanship with modern refinement — an heirloom piece designed to feel romantic, graceful and enduring.
Made in our Bath workshop, a stone's throw from the Abbey. Each piece is crafted individually—never mass-produced or imported.
This veil is edged with French lace made on traditional French looms by the same specialist supplier known for creating lace for Catherine Middleton's wedding dress. We pair it with our beautiful Italian tulle, chosen for its softness, movement and delicate transparency.
Every order arrives beautifully wrapped and ready to gift. No additional packaging needed—just hand it over. Presented in our signature keepsake box with grosgrain ribbon.
Founded by Sarah, Britten is an independent atelier seen in The Crown on Netflix, featured in Vogue and Style Me Pretty.
"There is something unforgettable about a mantilla veil — the way the lace frames the face, the softness of the tulle, the sense of ceremony. This French lace version feels especially timeless: ornate and romantic." — Sarah, Founder
Mantilla veils sit just back from the hairline or at the crown of the head with a hand-sewn comb underneath the lace. They're sometimes called Spanish veils and have no gathering, creating a smooth, elegant drape. For more guidance, read our wedding veil guide.

To preserve your mantilla veil properly, we recommend using our veil bag and hanging clip. This keeps the delicate lace protected and prevents creasing, ensuring your veil remains beautiful for years to come.
Absolutely - you can have your veil hand embroidered with your wedding date, initials, or other meaningful details. This creates a truly personal heirloom piece that's uniquely yours.
Mantilla veils are single-tier with no gathering, creating a smooth silhouette that allows your dress to show completely. The lace edge frames the face beautifully when worn at the crown. If you need help choosing, please get in touch for personalised guidance.
